DISTANCE TO STOPPING A CAR A vehicle travels approximately 1.5 ft per second for each mile per hour. 25 x 1.5 = 37.5. Add to that the average human response time to react to stimuli and apply the brake (1.5 sec again) = 56.25 ft before the vehicle begins to stop. Braking on most decent surfaces with good tires slows you 15 feet per second, per second of braking. 37.5 fps to 0 fps = 2.5 sec to stop

We had 6 moose / vehicle head-on collisions over the weekend. One wreck had life threatening injuries, another had non-life threatening injuries, all the others everybody was including the moose where it could get up and walk away.

I have seen on two occasions where a moose has gone through the windshield of tractor trailer killing the animal and the occupants of the rigs. A moose with a rack is a nasty thing to mess with. Always yield to them and if at all possible, stop and let them cross first.

ET ~ Saw it at the drive-in when it was released. Last movie I saw at a drive-in.

Gene Wilder ~ One of the first movies I ever saw...Young Frankenstein

Joe Montana ~ This Golden Domer's first football hero. Him whipping #1 Texas with Earl Campbell, and winning the National Championship in '77 is one of my greatest sports memories. Joe Cool is still the best quarterback to ever play.
